The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History

The Memory of ’76 traces how generations of Americans have remembered, celebrated, and argued over the Revolution. Michael D. Hattem follows public commemorations, schoolbooks, political rhetoric, museums, and popular culture from independence to the present. The book shows that 1776 has never carried a single fixed meaning; its memory has continually been remade to serve competing visions of national identity and political change.
